one of the lines I heard in past was that scientists had shunned wikis, tagging, and social networks that may be true to some extent .Even the mighty nature network which is read by thousands had a hard time attracting scientists and making sure that they keep the blog at pace. Blogging may be too early in the scene coupled with many other issues that bog the idea such as identity authneticity of the information and content et al. But what is causing the lethargy towards open access and peer review database and websites.

Beginning from March 2007 Nature Biotechnology is recommending that raw data from proteomics and molecular-interaction experiments be deposited in a public database before manuscript submission. There are many articles about the power of citation from open access database and peer reviewd articles. Still the number of top research papers appearing in these websites does seem to support the enthusiasm shared by everyone.

I came across a very good blog about how the Open access amplify a whole university’s research impact chek out the blog by Peter Suber The Open access News blog The research Informatio network team blog from UK also publishes some of the best work in this subject chek RIN blog
